Arabian custom tents are also called a Bedouin tent which is commonly used by Bedouins in the past. There are different features and accessories to use. Overall, the tent is flexible and lightweight, making it ideal for different activities. The Bedouin of the Arabian Desert involves a black tent called the “house of hair”. These tents are usually woven using the hair of goats and sheep. The design was believed to come from Mesopotamia. The animal hair is woven into strips of fala’if or coarse cloth and these are sewn together. The usual color of the animal is kept such as black goat hair. Sometimes, sheep wool is used, giving the tent a streaked brown or black look.

At times, the dimensions of the tent will depend on the personal taste of the owner or the number of people using it. The basic family will use tents from narrow strips, each measuring about seven and a half meters long. These are also supported by a couple of tent poles. The tribal sheik or other important people will use a tent that shows their high status. These are usually made of six broad strips, each measuring about 20 meters long. Four tent poles support the structure. They keep the size to ensure that the tent can be transported easily. The strips of cloth are also sewn to create a long rectangle. The structure is raised and supported on amdan or tent poles. The tent ropes or atnab will keep the sides closed.
